Getting OSError, Could someone suggest?

[srinivasan srinivas]

Hi,
 I have written a script which will spawn more than 200 no of subprocesses. I have used subprocess.Popen to do that.

 OSError: [Error 24] Too many open files.

Could someone help me in fixing this error?

Thanks,
Srini

Open fewer files.

As I understand it, each subprocess counts as at least one open file. You
may be able to increase the number of open files, but that will be
dependent on the operating system you are using.
